It's Not Supposed to Be This Way

Finding Unexpected Strength When Disappointments Leave You Shattered

#1 New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst spent the last two years walking through one epic disappointment after another. Now, after surviving breast cancer, marital infidelity, and more, Lysa reveals the hidden strength she discovered at the lowest point in her life. Her new book, It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way: Finding Unexpected Strength When Disappointments Leave You Shattered releases November 13, 2018.

Lysa’s new book recounts the truth about her own fears, pain, tears and faith. In the end, she has found God is good at being God, even when – especially when – circumstances are not at all what we expected or even wanted.

“This is so much more than a book for me,” says TerKeurst. “If I could only give one life message, this would be it. I want people to know that while we trust a God who does allow hurt, we also trust a God who uses hurt for good. Every single time."

Disciple Her

Using the Word, Work & Wonder of God to Invest in Women

What does true, biblical discipleship look like? How can women, no matter what stage of life they are in, practice it? How can we find time to invest ourselves into others when it feels like our schedules are already full? What is our place in carrying out the Great Commission? In this practical book, Kandi Gallaty outlines a process for developing an effective disciple-making strategy in your life and the lives of others. Disciple Her is filled with personal stories and more than a decade’s worth of discipleship experiences. Most important, it is saturated with her love for the Word of God.

Disciple Her will be a point of reference that can be picked up and referred to time and time again in the years to come as women intentionally obey Jesus’ command to invest their lives into others.

Here and Now

Thriving in the Kingdom of Heaven Today

The Christian life is so much more than just a one-time decision to secure a place in heaven. What if you could experience heaven on earth today? Not flying angels singing on clouds, but the fulfilled, abundant life Jesus promised in the Bible—a life that, regardless of your circumstances or your present context, experiences joy, happiness, and peace that is difficult to encapsulate in human terms. What if heaven was available to us today? Pastor and author Robby Gallaty thinks it is. We have been taught that salvation is getting man out of earth to live in heaven when the Bible teaches that God desires to bring heaven to earth through man. In Here and Now, readers will journey together to uncover the nucleus of Jesus’ messages, which says the opposite. Jesus spoke about the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God (both are synonymous as we will see) more than any other topic. No other concept is even close.
